Another double standard?

Not if you have a reserve commission. That is why I turned down a regular commission. (I am not talking about being in the reserves)

One of the finer points of Title 10. I doubt he, as a 3 star, held a reserve commission. But to @WuWei 's point, she isn’t a government official.

I doubt it also just wanted to clarify.

Many people had mentioned that earlier in thread.

Rules for Commissioned Officers have some quirks that us enlisted folks don’t have under Title 10.

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States"

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:

Where does it say he is my boss?

@FreeAndClear

the amazingness continues. Article 2. I am sorry but this is veering into silly ness. Like really fast.

We hire the president, we pay him and we can fire him after 4 years.

Yes and….

Yep used to be some great perks to the Regular commission. Sometime in the last 90’s they got rid of the perks and kept the worst parts ie the stuff talked about here. I refused the regular commission when I was a Major, my commander was not happy but understood. Military shot themselves in foot again.

[DMK]

They seem to be doing that a lot lately.

@FreeAndClear

Yes and….

And, we are the boss…

[Piper]

If you want a different form of government, consider Russia or China.

Not over the general we are not. Biden is.

We are discussing a constitutional form of government. You may want to read it sometimes. Just for funzies

We were talking about the General. But you know that…you’re just trying to back pedal…

@Piper

@FreeAndClear

His boss. The voters made Biden the generals boss when the general entered into a contract with the federal government. It’s fascinating that that needs to be spelled out.

Do you guys know how anything works?

Where is that in the constitution?

[Piper]

The general is retired.

@e7alr

He is still subject to the code, as are all of us members of the Retired Reserve. He has a set of orders transferring him, just like I do.

Already covered…

When you are representing the Uniform of the military, you cannot have political opinions. This is spelled out in the UCMJ and various military rules and regs.

Military need to be politically neutral, and it’s for obvious reasons.

Yes, ample precedent. See the links to cases I posted earlier in the thread.
